The pit bull was found in Virginia and began training to sniff out narcotics. His new home, Kennard, is no stranger to the issue of drugs.

"Heroin, cocaine, meth, and what it boils down to, unfortunately, statistics show smaller towns is where the drugs go," Crabtree said.

The Throw Away Dogs Project does not charge police for the trained K-9s and operates on donation money.

"You’re looking at the range of $10,000 to $15,000, it could even be higher, depends on where the dog comes from," Crabtree said. "If it wasn’t for them, I really don’t think we would have him."

Kennard police have started a GoFundMe to raise more money for the organization.

The Throw Away Dogs Project made headlines just a few weeks ago for its involvement in the story of Dallas, a 3-year-old dog who became one of the first pit bulls ever rescued from a fighting ring to train as a police K-9.
